Bella’s at Tallagandra Hill

View our menus

Some things in life are meant to be together. Food, wine, friends, and family are all key to a happy life, and underpin the mantra of our restaurant. Country hospitality, luxe ingredients cooked with heart and unique farm-to-table wines bring people from all walks of life together at Bella’s at Tallagandra Hill.

Our food celebrates premium cool climate wines made by Tallagandra Hill in the Yass Valley, just north of Canberra. Each wine carries the characteristics of the people who produce it and the place and earth it comes from, it tells a story which is matched by the passion of the local farmers and community.

The region boasts excellent organic produce, and the cool winters and hot summers mean the land is abundant with truffle, olive oil, stone fruits, apples, pears and a plethora of vegetables. Top quality lamb grazes the paddocks surrounding the property, chooks lay biodynamic eggs, and artisan producers dot the surrounding farms.

In 2018 Chef Bella and her husband James joined the Tallagandra Hill family, where David & Mary have been creating unforgettable wine experiences for Canberra district locals, and wine lovers from afar.

Each dish is designed to highlight the flavours and aromas of the wines, and takes inspiration from heartfelt country style cooking in wine producing regions across the globe. Of course, we use plenty of bountiful local produce, but most importantly we lift the flavours of our dishes with native Australian herbs and spices to give you a truly unique experience.

Bella recently moved to the region from Sydney and has gained national notoriety through her work as a TV chef on network 10’s Kitchen Rescue, and previously as resident chef on The Morning Show and winner of My Kitchen Rules 8 years ago. She has run a successful catering business where she has wowed clients such as Google, Porsche, and Youtube, and created memorable menus for countless weddings and special events.

We look forward to welcoming you and your loved ones to Bella’s at Tallagandra Hill.
